Wow! Friendly and educational kid tablet.

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

I am very impressed by the hardware. I’ve owned/seen several tablets in this price range but this one is the best. The quality and texture are great and it doesn't feel cheap.
My son is 6 years old. This is now his favorite tablet. He already has the ipad mini (restricted apps), so the transition to this tablet was seamless. He instantly knows how to navigate and play games or shows. I'd say any kid that already used a tablet or smart phone will do the same thing.
This tablet is pre-loaded with great goodies like games and kids tv shows. It is already customized for kids straight out of the box. This saved me time installing apps and researching if the apps are appropriate for kids. The pre-loaded shows are also a big plus! In addition it has the standard google apps like Gmail, Google Maps, Play Books, YouTube, Movie Studio, Play Games, Vudu, Play Newsstand, Google+, Chrome browser and Google Play (under parent mode).
I easily transferred most of his favorite games and apps from his ipad mini to cubby.
Overall, it exceeds my expectations. As a parent from set up and especially having the peace of mind that I know what my son is watching and has access to. I couldn’t ask for more. The only comment I have is that the booting up takes few minutes, which is not a big deal to me.

My 2 year old loves it!!

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

My son is just about 2 years old and he loves playing so much with this tablet. His favorite part is the music videos; he loves to jam to them and watch over and over again. We have limited his use to 20 mins a day or so, I was surprised how long he actually sat still and watched the videos and played with the tablet. He never sits still!! I was also surprised how fast he learned to use it and navigate to what he wanted to do. It’s very easy for kids to use which I love. All the content is perfect for his age so I don't have to manage what he is watching, it’s all about the Sprout Channel shows and characters which is a fav among kids his age. This is the first kid tablet we have used and we do love it. It really keeps him engaged the entire time and it helps him learn at the same time. Over all as a mom, I think this is not only a great toy to keep your extremely active toddler engaged but it helps him learn at the same time. I would recommend this to a friend for sure!!

Great Tablet for kids

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

We have a 2.5 year old daughter that we wanted to get her a tablet: this is our experience.
What the product delivered:
• Child control (an easy way to lock down the tablet)
• Durable
• Good looking – (I want it to be attractive laying on the table and for the kids to like it)
• Small – the size of my regular ipad is just to large…I wanted something much smaller
• Relatively cheap – I didn’t want to give my child a $500 device
• Getting started was easy - the device comes even comes fully charged, with number of games pre-loaded
• Wifi/technology/camera: Wifi/performance was very good (no complains). Camera is there but cannot be compared to higher end tablets (that being said, I don’t think my kid needs anything better)
• Memory – 16GB - enough for most things we'll ever need on this tablet.
How we use the tablet: We only allow our child to use the tablet after dinner for around 30 min. I wish there was a feature where it would just turns off after X time and can’t be turned on for Y time [Correction] – There is a way to set this functionality that I am now researching.
We utilize it for mostly educational games + youtube. My daughter loves to sing and look at youtube and we’ve utilized it with separate login. Although my daughter is young, there are lots of games offered in the Android environment that are educational and fun.
I would definitely recommend this product. It’s a great alternative to Ipad (keeps you in apple world) and Kindle (keeps in you amazon world) and lets you utilize the Android environment. This device can be utilized by kids and adults (just turning off parent control).

Why buy insurance???

Average rating:4out of5stars, based on0reviews

I'm a little upset. I'm actually beyond irritated me and my husband purchased this for our daughters second birthday loved that it was aimed at children her age came with games and a timer for me to monator how long she was on it. But did purchase the two year insurance because it covers everything water is what sold me. And she's three now so I did have to use the warranty no biggy right? Wrong was first gave the run around and then when I figured out who to go through they told us that that model was discontinued and they'd have to send the next model fine sounds like a win right well what I was sent is garbage! Maybe a nice model for a teenager but my daughter is three. All the built in games gone! All the parental locks gone! The built in shows gone this thing is completely useless in my eyes I liked that she didn't have to be on wifi to use her tablet. We used it for car rides now she has to hooked to wifi at all times if I wanted this I would've given her my old tablet!!!

White screen!!! Beware

Average rating:1out of5stars, based on0reviews

I purchased this tablet for my daughter for Christmas she is 2 years old here it is May and the screen has turned white. I contacted customer service and was told that the manufacturer warranty don't cover this even though the 180 day warranty is still on the tablet they wanted me to pay 50.00 for a new. Please BEWARE OF THIS TABLET!!!

Unsafe for toddlers

Average rating:1out of5stars, based on0reviews

This product shatters easily and is not deemed safe for a the age range it is made for. My child is 2 years old and just dropped the product on the floor. The screen shattered immediately. I contacted the company to see about a replacement product as I just bought it 2 months ago. They offered to send me a replacement for a small fee of $75.00!!! I didn't even pay that much for it brand new!!! DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE.

Took a risk and it was worth it.

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

I originally bought it for my daughter, on her birthday. I heard horror stories such as, it doesn't work or it breaks very easily. Well, to be honest my daughter dropped it on the ground (wooden floor) so many times and it still works and the screen didn't crack at all. My daughter loves it, she watches her favorite shows and play games on it. It is worth the money!

Great Tablet for my little one

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

This is a great tablet is a great design. We had a tablet before that was dropped and then the screen eventually got cracked. I do not see that as an issue here because of the protective cover. The design makes it easy for my so to hold on to, so he has not dropped it and I think that even if he did there would be more protection against a fall. This feels like a tablet that was designed with kids in mind and my son picks up on that. The apps that come preloaded are great because they are not only fun for my son (age 4) but they are also educational. There is one that is a puzzle game where he has to figure out how to do different actions without creating reactions. He could probably play all day (if I would let him). We set a timer for him and he is allowed to play for 45 minutes each day unless we are going on a long car ride and then the Cubby is a life saver and he is allowed to play the whole time we are in the car. Managing the content was fairly simple as there are usually descriptions prior to downloading and at this young age there are not too many things that we want our son getting into. He is mostly into specific character games, puzzle games and counting and we have been able to find plenty of games that he thought were fun.

Awesome Tablet for kids

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

I did a lot of research on different types of tablets for kids before purchasing this one. It took me some time to go through it and take off what my child didn't need at this time, he is only two years old but his vocabulary is that of a three or four-year-olds. He absolutely loves this tablet because it has videos, games, and coloring. My favorite part is that it's all educational and already loaded onto the tablet. There is the option to load more apps and to put it on parental security so that the child cannot purchase apps on their own. I have recommended this product to several people.

Perfect tablet for toddlers and kids

Average rating:5out of5stars, based on0reviews

My son is almost 2, so on the younger side of the recommended age range for this tablet. He has had some experience with my tablet and phone though, and he had no problem figuring out how to use it. The Cubby comes pre-loaded with several games, activities, videos (TV episodes as well as music videos), recipes, instructions for crafts you can make inspired by your child's favorite Sprout shows, puzzles, and stories that can be read to your child or your child can read on their own if they are old enough. My son absolutely loves the Sprout channel and all the shows on it, so he was instantly excited to play with it.
You just need wifi to set it up - setup is fast and easy and you just use your Gmail account. I love this tablet because you don't need to buy any other apps if you don't want to - the content that it comes with is more than enough to entertain and engage your child. You also do have the option though of downloading different paid Sprout apps, or exiting "Cubby mode" and just going to the Google Play store to download any other free or paid apps that your toddler might enjoy.
There are also rear-facing and forward-facing cameras so your child can take pictures - I imagine my son will be more into this when he gets older. I did notice when checking out an app where you sing with the Wiggles, it uses the forward-facing camera while you sing also - I can't wait to watch my son try that one out eventually!
This tablet is great because it will engage your child at many ages. At almost 2, my son enjoys watching the videos, playing some of the games, having the stories read to him, and coloring in the Crayola app. He loves that there are coloring pages featuring his favorite Sprout characters, but also with other cute pictures (like dinosaurs). As he gets older, he will be able to play more of the games and puzzles, start taking pictures, and eventually read the stories himself. There are also games that we are familiar with from the Sunny Side Up Show, like Dress Chica. When my son gets older he can create things and send to Sprout so that they might get featured on the show. We've only had the Cubby for a couple days, so I'm sure there is even more to discover.
Some of the great features for parents include parental controls - when the tablet is in Cubby mode your child can only go to websites that you have added (default is Sprout only), and your child cannot purchase anything or exit Cubby mode without the password. You also have the option of setting up profiles for additional children if you have siblings that will be sharing. You can just switch the profile when they take turns. There is also the option to set up a time limit so you can control the amount of time that your child is using it.
Overall I think this is the perfect tablet for toddlers and children, especially if they love the Sprout channel as much as we do! I haven't seen a tablet that comes with content like this that is really perfect for children. The tablet feels sturdy and comes with a rubber bumper to help protect it from falls - they really thought of everything.
